A Letter from the Managing Director

"As a young child, I realized the power of someone contacting someone else via phone (there was no e-mail then) and changing someone's entire life for the better. My father was a senior executive and, at that time, most professionals stayed with the same company for thirty years waiting for their "gold watch". My father was not the norm: he went to another company when there was a better opportunity elsewhere. That's how I first learned what an executive recruiter can do: one call and my whole family moved across the country (or out of the country in some cases) for a better opportunity for my father and our family. Little did I know at the time how that recruiter and that one initial phone call helped his employers too.

After more than 20 years, I still find executive search very exciting. I love working with a new search and strategizing how and where to find the right candidate. I love speaking to clients and finding out what and why they have a need and helping them to formulate what is best for their company. After 20 years, I still cannot sleep at night waiting to work on a great search."
